From The Ashes

I walked barefoot
White dress torn by the heat
The fire didn't burn me
It taught me how to bend
I felt the flames
I felt the fear
I used it all
To empower

I rise
From the ashes they left behind
Wings of fire
White roses prickling my skin
I don't beg
I don't break
I rediscover myself in the flame

I rise
And I rise

Every scar speaks
Every burn knows my name
I don't wear white for innocence
I wear it to dare the flames

Let it burn
Let it fall
Let it be known
From the ashes
I rise

From the ashes
they left behind
Wings of fire
Embers floating in the sky

I rise

I was reborn
to be.... free

I rise
From the ashes
they left behind
White dress
Fire burning inside
I don't fade,
I don't fold
I turn pain into gold

Look at me now
I don't escape
I ascend
From the ashes
I rise
